University Musical Society
of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor
the 1996 Winter Season
Dear UMS Patrons
Thank you very much for attending this event and for supporting the work of the University Musical Society. By the time this 199596 season comes to a close this spring, the UMS will have brought to the community 65 performances featuring many of the world's finest artists and ensembles. In addition, the UMS will have sponsored more than 100 educational events aimed at enhancing the community's understand?ing and appreciation of the performing arts. Your support makes all of this possible, and we are grateful to you.
My colleagues throughout the country are continually amazed at how a Midwest community of 110,000 can support the number and quality of performances that the UMS brings to Ann Arbor. They want to know how we do it, and I'm proud to tell them. Here's what I say:
O First, and most important, the people in Ann Arbor and the surrounding region provide great support for what we do by attending events in large numbers and by providing generous financial support through gifts to the UMS. And, according to our artists, they are among the most informed, engaged and appreciative audiences in the country.
O It has been the tradition of the University Musical Society since its founding in 1879 to bring the greatest artists in the world to Ann Arbor, and that tradition continues today. Our patrons expect the best, and that's what we seek to offer them.
O Our special relationship with one of the country's leading educational institutions, the University of Michigan, has allowed us to maintain a level of independence which, in turn, affords us the ability to be creative, bold and entrepreneurial in bringing the best to Ann Arbor. While the UMS is proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan and is housed on the Ann Arbor campus, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organization which supports itself from ticket sales, other earned income, grants, and contributions.
O The quality of our concert halls means that artists love to perform here and are eager to accept return engagements. Where else in the U.S. can Cecilia Bartoli perform a recital before 4,300 people and know that her pianissimos can be heard unamplified by everyone
O Our talented, diverse, and dedicated Board of Directors drawn from both the University and the regional community provides outstanding leadership for the UMS. The 200-voice UMS Choral Union, 55-member Advisory Committee, 275-member usher corps, and hundreds of other volunteers and interns contribute thousands of hours to the UMS each year and provide critical services that we could not afford otherwise.
O Finally, I've got a wonderful group of hard-working staff colleagues who love the Musical Society and love their work. Bringing the best to you brings out the best in them.
Thanks for coming, and let me hear from you if you have any suggestions, complaints, etc. Look for me in the lobby or give me a call at 313.747.1174.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Fischer Executive Director

Concert Guidelines
To make concertgoing a more convenient and pleasurable experience for all patrons, the Musical Society has implemented the following policies and practices:
Starting Time for Concerts The Musical Society will make every attempt to begin its performances on time. Please allow ample time for parking. Ushers will seat latecomers at a predetermined time in the program so as not to disturb performers or other patrons.
Children We welcome children, but very young chil?dren can be disruptive to a performance. Children should be able to sit quietly in their own seats through?out a performance. Children unable to do so, along with the adult accompanying them, may be asked by an usher to leave the auditorium. Please use discretion in choosing to bring a child. Remember, everyone must have a ticket, regardless of age.
A Modern Distraction Please turn off or suppress electronic beeping and chiming digital watches or pagers during performances.
Cameras and Recorders Cameras and recording devices are strictly prohibited in the auditoria.
Odds and Ends A silent auditorium with an expec?tant and sensitive audience creates the setting for an enriching musical experience. To that desired end, performers and patrons alike will benefit from the absence of talking, loud whispers, rustling of pro?gram pages, foot tapping, large hats (that obscure a view of the stage), and strong perfume or cologne (to which some are allergic).

University Musical Society
of the University of Michigan
Now in its 117th season, the University Musical Society ranks as one of the oldest and most highly-regarded performing arts presenters in the country.
The Musical Society began in 1879 when a group of singers from Ann Arbor churches gathered together to study and perform the choruses from Handel's Messiah under the leadership of Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and Professor Calvin B. Cady. The group soon became known as the Choral Union and gave its first concert in December 1879. This tradition continues today. The UMS Choral Union performs this beloved oratorio each December.
The Choral Union led to the formation in 1880 of the University Musical Society whose name was derived from the fact that many members were affili?ated with the University of Michigan. Professor Frieze, who at one time served as acting president of the University, became the first president of the'Society. The Society comprised the Choral Union and a concert series that featured local and visiting artists and ensembles. Today, the Choral Union refers not only to the chorus but the Musical Society's acclaimed ten-concert series in Hill Auditorium. Through the Chamber Arts Series, Choral Union Series, Jazz Directions, World Tour, and Moving Truths Series, the Musical Society now hosts over 60 concerts and more than 100 educational events each season featuring the world's finest dance companies,
opera, theater, popular attractions, and presentations from diverse cultures. The University Musical Society has flourished these 117 years with the support of a generous musicand arts-loving community, which has gathered in Hill and Rackham Auditoria, Power Center, and The Michigan Theater to experience the artistry of such outstanding talents as Leonard Bernstein, the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras, Sweet Honey in the Rock, the Martha Graham Dance Company, Enrico Caruso, Jessye Norman, James Levine, the Philadelphia Orchestra, Urban Bush Women, Benny Goodman, Andres Segovia, The Stratford Festival, The Beaux Arts Trio, Cecilia Bartoli, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Under the leadership of only five directors in its history, the Musical Society has built a reputation of quality and tradition that is maintained and strength?ened through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, programs for young people, artists' residencies such as the Martha Graham Centenary Festival and the Society Bank Cleveland Orchestra Weekend, and through other collaborative projects.
While it is proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, is housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and collaborates regularly with many University units, the Musical Society is a separate, not-for-profit organization, which supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, foundation and government grants, and endowment income.
UMS Choral Union
Thomas Sheets, conductor
The University Musical Society Choral Union has performed throughout its 117-year history with many of the world's distinguished orches?tras and conductors.
In recent years, the chorus has sung under the direction of Neemejarvi, Kurt Masur, Eugene Ormandy, Robert Shaw, Igor Stravinsky, Andre Previn, Michael Tilson Thomas, Seiji Ozawa, Robert Spano and David Zinman in performances with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of St. Luke's and other noted ensembles.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society of the University of Michigan the 180-voice Choral Union remains best known for its annual performances of Handel's Messiah each December. Two years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition through its appointment as resident large chorus of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In January 1994 the Choral Union collaborated with Maestro Jarvi and the DSO in the chorus' first major commercial recording, Tchaikovsky's Snow Maiden, released by Chandos Records in October of that year. Last season, the ensemble joined forces with the DSO for subscrip?tion performances of Ravel's Daphnis el CMoe and Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection). In 1995, the Choral Union established an artistic association with the Toledo Symphony, inaugurating the new partnership with a performance of Britten's War Requiem under the baton of Andrew Massey. This season, the Choral Union will again join the Toldeo Symphony for performances of Bach's Mass in b minor under conductor Thomas Sheets, and the Berlioz Requiem with Andrew Massey.
The long choral tradition of the University Musical Society reaches back to 1879, when a group of local church choir members and other interested singers came together to sing choruses from Handel's Messiah, an event that signaled the birth of the University Musical Society. Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Representing a mixture of townspeople, students and faculty, members of the Choral Union share one common passion a love of the choral art.
Hill Auditorium
Completed in 1913, this renowned concert hall was inaugurated at the 20th Annual Ann Arbor May Festival and has since been home to thousands of University Musical Society concerts, including the annual Choral Union Series, through?out its distinguished 82-year history.
Former U-M regent Arthur Hill saw the need at the University for a suitable auditorium for holding lectures, concerts, and other university gatherings. Hill bequested $200,000 for construction of the hall, and Charles Sink, then UMS president, raised an additional $150,000.
Upon entering the hall, concertgoers are greeted by the gilded organ pipes of the Frieze Memorial Organ above the stage. UMS obtained this organ in 1894 from the Chicago Colombian Exposition and installed it in old University Hall (which stood behind present Angell Hall). The organ was moved to Hill Auditorium for the 1913 May Festival. Over the decades, the organ pipes have undergone many changes in appearance, but were restored to their original stenciling, coloring, and layout in 1986.
Currently, Hill Auditorium is part of the U-M's capital campaign, the Campaign for Michigan. Renovation plans for Hill Auditorium have been developed by Albert Kzhn and Associates to include elevators, green rooms, expanded bathroom facilities, air conditioning, artists' dressing rooms, and many other necessary improvements and patron conveniences.
Rackham Auditorium
For over 50 years, this intimate and unique con?cert hall has been the setting for hundreds of world-acclaimed chamber music ensembles pre?sented by the University Musical Society. Before 1941, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were few and irregular. That changed dramatically, however, when the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies came into being through the generosity of Horace H. and Mary A. Rackham.
The Rackham Building's semi-circular auditorium, with its intimacy, beauty, and fine acoustics, was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. The Musical Society realized this potential and pre?sented its first Chamber Music Festival in 1941, the first organized event of its kind in Ann Arbor. The present-day Chamber Arts Series was launched in 1963. The Rackhams' gift of $14.2 million in 1933 is held as one of the most ambitious and liberal gifts ever given to higher education. The luxurious and comfortably appointed 1,129-seat auditorium was designed by architect William Kapp and architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci.
POWER CENTER for the Performing Arts
The dramatic mirrored glass that fronts the Power Center seems to anticipate what awaits the concertgoer inside. The Power Center's dedication occurred with the world premiere of Truman Capote's The Grass Harp in 1971. Since then, the Center has been host to hundreds of prestigious names in theater, dance, and music, including the University Musical Society's first Power Center presentation--Marcel Marceau.
The fall of 1991 marked the twentieth anniver?sary of the Power Center. The Power Family-Eugene B. Power, a former regent of the University of Michigan, his wife Sadye, and their son Philip-contributed $4 million toward the building of the theater and its subsequent improvements. The Center has seating for 1,380 in the auditorium, as well as rehearsal spaces, dressing rooms, costume and scenery shops, and an orchestra pit.
UMS hosted its annual week-long theater resi?dency in the Power Center, welcoming the esteemed Shaw Festival of Canada, November 15-20, 1994. In October 1994, UMS, the Martha Graham Dance Company, and ten institutional partners hosted
"In the American Grain: The Martha Graham Centenary Festival" commemorating the 100th anniversary of Martha Graham's birth. The Power Center was the site of open rehearsals, exhibits, workshops, and performances, including the 50th anniversary celebration of the premiere of the Martha GrahamAaron Copland collaboration Appalachian Spring (Ballet for Martha).
The Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened its doors January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaudeville movie palace era. The gracious facade and beautiful interior were then, as now, a marvel practi?cally unrivaled in Michigan. As was the custom of the day, the Theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ, acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country.
Over the years, the Theater has undergone many changes. Talkies" replaced silent films just one year after the Theater opened, and vaudeville soon disap?peared from the stage. As Theater attendance dwindled in the '50s, both the interior and exterior of the building were remodeled in an architecturally inappropriate style.
Through the '60s and '70s the 1800-seat theater struggled against changes in the film industry and audiences until the non-profit Michigan Theater Found?ation stepped in to operate the failing movie house in 1979.
After a partial renovation which returned much of its prior glory, the Theater has become Ann Arbor's home of quality cinema as well as a popular venue for the performing arts. The Michigan Theater is also the home of the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In June of 1950, Edward Cardinal Mooney appointed Father Leon Kennedy pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Sunday Masses were first celebrated at Pittsfield School until the first building was ready on Easter Sunday, 1951. The parish num?bered 248 families. Ground was broken in 1967 to build a permanent church building, and on March 19, 1969, John Cardinal Dearden dedicated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. In June of 1987, Father Charles E. Irvin was appointed pastor.
Today, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is composed of 2,800 families. The present church seats 800 people and has ample free parking. Since ig87janelle O'Malley has served as Music Director of St. Francis. Through dedication, a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision into the future, the parish improved die acoustics of die church building. A splendid 3 manual "mechanical action" instrument of 34 stops and 45 ranks was built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. The 1994 Letourneau Organ (Opus 38) was dedicated in December of 1994.
Burton Memorial Tower
A favorite campus and Ann Arbor landmark, Burton Memorial Tower is the familiar .mailing address and box office location for UMS concertgoers.
In a 1921 commencement address, University president Marion LeRoy Burton suggested that a bell tower, tall enough to be seen for miles, be built in the center of campus to represent the idealism and loyalty of U-M alumni. Burton served as president of the University and as a Musical Society trustee from 1920 until his death in 1925.
In 1935 Charles M. Baird, the University's first athletic director, donated $70,000 for a carillon and clock to be installed in a tower dedicated to the memory of President Burton. Several organizations, including the Musical Society, undertook the task of procuring funds, and nearly 1,500 individuals and organizations made contributions. The gift of the UMS totalled $60,000.
Designed by Albert Kahn, Burton Memorial Tower was completed in 1940, at which time the University Musical Society took residence of the first floor and basement.
A renovation project headed by local builder Joe O'Neal began in the summer of 1991. As a result, the UMS now has refurbished offices on three floors of the tower, complete with updated heating, air conditioning, storage, lighting, and wiring. Over 230 individuals and businesses donated labor, materials, and funds to this project
The remaining floors of Burton Tower are arranged as classrooms and offices used by the School of Music, with the top reserved for the Charles Baird Carillon. During the academic year, visitors may observe the carillon chamber and enjoy a live per?formance from noon to 12:30 p.m. weekdays when classes are in session and most Saturdays from 10:15 to 10:45 a.m.

Vesperae solennes de confessore, k. 339
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Born January 27, 1756 in Salzburg
Died December 5, 1791 in Vienna
Mozart wrote his Vesperae solennes de confessore, K. 339 at the age of twenty-four, in the aftermath of discovering that the world was not quite ready for him. He had essen?tially quit his position as a compser in the court of Count Colloredo in his hometown, had almost gotten his father fired in the process, and had left for Paris seeking his fortune with his mother as chaperone. He stopped in Mannheim along the way, and immediately fell in love with a soprano named Aloysia Weber, wasting time and resources, and pressing the patience of his parents by hoping to stay there. Fortune finally persuaded him to move on to Paris, where he made all attempts to impress the nobility and to find musical employment. Late in June of 1778, his mother developed a high fever, and died on July 3. This event shook and changed him, in the midst of the realization that he would never receive any substantial offer of musical employment in Paris. He left for home embarrassed, depressed and bewildered. On his way back, he stopped for consolation from Aloysia Weber, only to discover that she had forgotten him, and was already seeing someone else. Two years later, he married Aloysia's sister, Constanze. His father pleaded with the Count, begging forgiveness for his son and eventually managing to get Amadeus his job back. It was in the year following these events that the Vesperae were created in Salzburg, for the Count.
Vespers were a traditional part of the Roman Catholic liturgy of Divine Offices: services designed to take place at intervals from dawn through dusk. Vespers, die seventh
of eight Offices, were celebrated at sunset. Vespers comprise five psalm texts (110, 111, 112, 113 and 117), a hymn and the culminating "Magnificat" the Canticle of the Virgin Mary from Luke 1:46-55. Vespers, the only Office for which music other than Gregorian Chant was allowed by the Church, have been set to music by many composers both before and after Mozart, notably Monteverdi, Alessandro Scarlatti, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninoff. Mozart set the Vespers twice (K. 231 and K. 339, both of which are in C Major); both leave out the hymn to create a six-movement design. Six years earlier, he had also set the "Dixit Dominus" and "Magnificat"texts in C Major, K. 193. Mozart was known during his lifetime primarily as an opera composer, thus, operatic features often permeate his other work. It is particularly fascinating to hear how Mozart infuses a sacred text with the spirit of opera, while maintaining its strictly religious nature. Operatic features are often introduced in music given to soloists. In "Dixit Dominus,'' in the midst of contrasts, organizational com?plexity and juxtaposed styles, vocal soloists evoke opera briefly and subtly in its final section, prefacing the return of music heard earlier in the movement with a style unique to themselves. The middle section of "Confitebor" is like an operatic scene, and is given entirely to soloists. In the "Beatus Vir" and "Magnificat," soloists alternate widi the choir. Soloists and operatic qualities are lacking only in the J.S. Bach-influenced "Laudate Pueri," which in its austerity helps to prepare the jewel of the collection, "Laudate Dominum," set as an operatic aria for the soprano soloist.

Vesperae solennes de confessore, K. 339
"DlXIT DOMINUS"
Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris
meis, donee ponam inimicos tuos scabel-
lum pedum tuorum. Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex
Sion: dominare in medio einimicorum
tuorum. Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae, in
splendoribus sanctorum: ex utero ante
luciferum genui te. Juravit Dominus et non poenitebit eum: Tu
es sacerdos in aeternum secundum
ordinem Melchisedech. Dominus a dextris tuis confregit in die irae
suae reges. Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas;
conquassabit capita in terra multorum. De torrente in via bibet: propterea exaltabit
caput.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spirtui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen
"Confitebor"
Confitebor tibi Domine, in toto corde meo,
in consilio justorum, et congregatione. Magna opera Domini, exquisita in omnes
voluntates ejus. Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus: et
justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi. Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum; mis-
ericors et miserator et Justus: escam dedit
timentibus se. Memor erit in saeculum testamenti sui.
Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit
populo suo. Ut det illis hereditatem gentium: opera
manuum ejus veritas et judicium. Fidelia omnia mandata ejus: confirmata in
saeculum saeculi, facta in veritate et
aequitate..
Psalm no
The Lord said unto my Lord: sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
With thee is die principality in die day of thy strength in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before die day star I begot diee.
The Lord hath sworn, and He will not repent: Thou art a priest forever accord?ing to die order of Melchisedech.
The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of His wrath.
He shall judge among nations, He shall fill ruins: He shall crush die heads in the land of many.
He shall drink of the torrent in the way: dierefore shall He lift up the head.
Glory be to the Father and to die Son and
to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever
shall be, World without end. Amen.
Psalm m
I will praise Thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in die council of die just, and in the congregadon.
Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all His wills.
His work is praise and magnificence: and His justice continueth for ever and ever.
He hadi made a remembrance of His wonder?ful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord: He hath given food to them that fear him.
He will be mindful for ever of His covenant: He will shew forth to His people the power of his works.
That He may give them die inheritance of the Gentiles: the work of his hands are trudi and judgment.
Redemptionem misit Dominus populo suo:
mandavit in aeternum testamentum
suum. Sanctum et terribile nomen ejus: initium
sapientiae timor Domini. Intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum:
laudatio ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spirtui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
"Beatus vir"
Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis
ejus volet nimis. Potens in terra erit semen ejus: generatio
rectorum benedicetur. Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus: et justitia
ejus manet in saeculum saeculi. Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: miseri-
cors, et miserator, et Justus. Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat;
disponet sermones suos in justitia; quia in
aeternum non commovebitur. In memoria aeterna erit Justus: ab auditione
mala non timebit. Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino, non
commovebitur donee despiciat inimicos
suos. Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: justitia ejus
manet in saeculum, in saeculum saeculi:
cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria. Peccator videbit, et irascetur, dentibus suis
fremet et tabescet: desiderium peccato-
rum peribit.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spirtui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
All his commandments are laithtul: con?firmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.
He hath sent redemption to His people: He hath commanded His covenant for ever.
Holy and terrible is His name: the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
A good understanding to all that do it: His praise continueth for ever and ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and
to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever
shall be, World without end. Amen.
Psalm 112
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in His command?ments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.
Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.
To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: He is merciful, and compassionate, and just.
Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment, because he shall not be moved for ever.
The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing.
His heart is ready to hope in the Lord.
His heart is strengthened: he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.
He hath distributed, he hathh given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever, his horn shall be exalted in glory.
The wicked shall see and be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and
to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever
shall be, World without end. Amen.
"Laudate pueri"
Laudate pueri Dominum: laudate nomen
Domini. Sit nomen Domini benedictum, ex hoc
mine et usque in saeculum. A solis ortu usque ad occasum, laudabile
nomen Domini. Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, et
super coelos gloria ejus. Quis sicut Deus noster, qui in altis habitat, et
humilia respicit in coelo et in terra Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore eri-
gens pauperem: Ut collocet eum cum
principibus, cum principibus populi sui. Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem
filiorum laetantem.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spirtui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
"Laudate Dominum"
Laudate Dominum omnes gentes: laudate
eum omnes populi. Quoniam confirmata est super nos miseri-
cordia ejus: et veritas Domini manet in
aeternum.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spirtui Sancto: Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
Psalm 113
Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the
name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord: from
henceforth now and for ever. From the rising of the sun unto the going
down of the same, the name of the Lord is
worthy of praise. The Lord is high above all nations: and His
glory above the heavens. Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth
on high, and looketh down on the low
things in heaven and in earth Raising up the needy from the earth: and
lifting up the poor out of the dunghill. That He may place him with princes: with
the princes of his people. Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a
house: the joyful mother of children.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and
to the Holy Ghost. As it was in die beginning, is now, and ever
shall be, World without end. Amen.
Psalm 117
O praise the Lord, all ye nations, praise
Him, all ye people. For His mercy is confirmed upon us: and
the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to die Son and
to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever
shall be, World without end. Amen.
"Magnificat"
Magnificat anima mea Dominum, et exsul-
tavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent
omnes generationes. Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est, et
sanctum nomen ejus. Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies
timentibus eum. Fecit potentiam in brachio suo: dispersit
superbos mente cordis sui. Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit
humiles. Esurientes implevit bonis: et divites dimisit
inanes. Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus
misericordiae suae. Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham
et semini ejus in saecula.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spirtui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
Luke I: 46-56
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid: for behold from hence?forth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because He that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is His name.
And His mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
He hath shewed might in His arm: He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich He hath sent empty away.
He hath received Israel His servant, being mindful of His mercy.
As He spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and
to the Holy Ghost. As it was in die beginning, is now, and ever
shall be, World without end. Amen.
Spirituals
The Black Spiritual, referred to as the Negro Spiritual before the 1950's, consti?tutes one of the largest single bodies of American folk songs. The former slave and Black leader, Frederick Douglas (c. 1817-95) wrote of singing spirituals when a slave: "A keen observer might have detected in our repeated singing of ' 0 Canaan, I am Bound for the land of Canaan' something more than a hope of reaching heaven."
Gershwin Memories
George Gershwin (1889-1937) was one of America's most prolific composers. The Boys Choir sings selections from his famous songs to his memory.
Jazz Greats
Jazz Greats is a choreographed representa?tion of the stylistic diversity within the Jazz genre. It opens with Duke Ellington's elegant and sophisticated "Take the 'A' Train" and "It Don't Mean a Thing' and ends with a tribute to one of the greatest song stylists, Billy Holiday, with "God Bless the Child."
Pride and Hope
The Boys Choir of Harlem represents more than just music making; it is a way of life. Songs like Liya Zula and Byede Mandela (a tribute to the new President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela) help to teach pride and hope for the people. We Are Heroes is an original piece written especially for the Boys Choir of Harlem by Lee Cooper and Linda Twine. Amazing Grace, one of the most popu?lar songs in this country, along with Rough Crossing represents our prayers and contin?ued hope for a better world. This section ends with the Gospel piece, Can Go to God in Prayer, an up-tempo representation of one of Black culture's greatest contributions to the genre.
Contemporary
The Boys Choir of Harlem's new album, Sound of Hope, (AtcoEastWest) features the last two songs, Power and Children of the World. Both of these songs are originals and represent the spirit of the Boys Choir of Harlem.

The Boys Choir of Harlem was founded by Dr. Walter J. Turnbull in 1968 as the Ephesus Church Choir of Central Harlem. Incorporated in 1975, in the ensuing
years it has grown from a small church choir to a major performing arts institution of international reputation. Still under the direction of Dr. Turnbull, the Boys Choir of Harlem (BCH) is currently celebrating its twenty-fifth Anniversary.
The Boys Choir of Harlem provides a positive, creative alternative for inner-city New York children. Its repertoire ranges from classical music to jazz, contemporary songs, gospel and spirituals. Over the years, the Boys Choir of Harlem has provided a conduit for hundreds of children to direct their lives into productive channels. The Choir's programs include comprehensive music and academic education, counseling and tutoring.
In 1988, the Choir reinstituted its program for girls, and the entire Choir now consists of four hundred and fifty young people between the ages of eight and eighteen. Members are arranged into three groups: the Preparatory Choir, Concert Choir, and Girls Choir. The thirty-five to forty boys who comprise the touring Performing Choir are chosen from the two-hundred-member Concert Choir on a rotating basis. Individual academic performance, attendance, and progress at rehearsals as well as voices needed for balanced sound, are the criteria used to select this elite group of performers. The remaining Choir members also have limited appearances at local events.
The Boys Choir of Harlem has performed at many of diis country's most auspicious occasions, including the rededication of the Statue of Liberty, Nelson Mandela's arrival in the United States after his long imprison?ment, the 500th anniversary celebrations of Columbus's arrival, the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly, and several White House state dinners. At home in New York City, BCH has appeared at die Avery Fisher, Alice Tully, Carnegie and Radio City Music halls. In 1993 they were a popular success in The Boys Choir of Harlem and Friends LIVE on Broadway and drew rave reviews. Later diat year they appeared with Patti Austin, Peabo Bryson and Jeffrey Osborne in The Colors of Christmas at the Beacon Theatre. In May 1994, BCH came home to Harlem with two performances at
Harlem's world-famous Apollo Theatre. In addition to its heavy national and international touring schedule of eighty to one hundred performances annually, the Boys Choir of Harlem has recorded extensively with a diverse range of artists. Their first contempo?rary solo album, "The Sound of Hope" was released in October 1994 on Eastwood Records America, part of the Atlantic Warner Bros., Inc. label.
The Boys Choir not only teaches music, but prepares its members for productive lives. The Choir Academy of Harlem was created as the Boys Choir of Harlem Academy in 1987 to give BCH members access to academic train?ing at the same level of excellence as the musical training they had been getting at BCH after school. In September 1993 BCH moved to its new and larger home, a New York City Board of Education facility in order to expand the Academy through high school and add girls to the student body for the first time. In June 1996 the first Academy twelfth-graders will graduate to continue BCH's tradition of ninety-eight percent college attendance.
During the summer Choir members train at BCH's Summer Music Institute, in Harlem and at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. A staff of four full-time counselors work year-round in concert with the academic and artistic staff to fulfill BCH's mission:
The Boys Choir of Harlem is an artistically driven organization dedicated to providing students with a broad-based education. Through a holistic program of education, counseling and the performing arts, the Boys Choir of Harlem prepares inner-city youth to become disciplined, confident, motivated and successful Americans.
This evenings performance marks the Boys Choir of Harlem's debut appearance under UMS auspices.
Concertato for Orchestra, "Moby Dick"
Peter Mennin
Born May iy, 1923 in Erie, Pennsylvania
Died June iy, 1983 in New York City
The Concertato, composed in 1952 on commission from the Erie Philharmonic Orchestra in celebration of the centenary ofMennin's native city, was first performed there on October 20 of that year, with Fritz Mahler conducting.
The score calls for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English horn, two clarinets and bass clarinet, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, suspended cymbal, and strings. Approximate performance time: eleven minutes.
Peter Mennin was in his early twenties when he achieved prominence among American composers. His Third Symphony, completed on his twenty-third birthday, was introduced before his twenty-fourth by the New York Philharmonic under Walter Hendl, and that orchestra subsequendy recorded it under Dimitri Mitropoulos. The work identified Mennin as one of the few major American symphonists; he was to produce a total of nine symphonies, the last commis?sioned by the National Symphony Orchestra, which introduced it under Mstislav Rostropovich in March 1981. At that tjme Mennin was president of The Juilliard School, having succeeded William Schuman in 1962 when Schuman took up the presi?dency of Lincoln Center. Leonard Slatkin, who has championed both composers' works and later diis year succeeds Mr. Rostropovich as music director of the National Symphony Orchestra, was a student at Juilliard early in Mennin's tenure..
The Concertato, the most successful of Mennin's shorter works for orchestra, pre?ceded the Third Symphony by a year. Toward the end of 1951 Mennin was given the draft
of a libretto for a proposed operatic treatment of Moby Dick, which moved him to re-study Melville's novel. At the same time, Mennin was given a commission from the Erie Philharmonic for a work in honor of his hometown's centenary; instead of an opera he composed the Concertato, which he stated, is "a dramatic work for orchestra, motivated by the Melville novel, and depicts the emo?tional impact of the work as a whole, rather than musically describing isolated moments." (Mennin retained connections with Erie throughout his life; Walter Hendl, who conducted the momentous premiere of his Third Symphony, ended his own career as music director of the Erie Philharmonic, following several years as director of the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music, Mennin's alma mater.)
That the piece is not a musical description of the action in Moby Dick, but, rather, a reflection of the novel's overall effect on a particular reader, is indicated in the title Concertato, which has nothing to do with the symphonic poem concept or any sort of musical picture-painting. The term has not been in general use for more than two-hundred years. One of its uses, in the time of Corelli and Vivaldi, was to distinguish a solo instrument from continuo forces, as in a keyboard concerto with a cembalo concerlato and another harpsichord in the continuo. The term also bears a relationship to the works of the high baroque in which antiphonal choirs of voices andor instruments were used. The common thread is that of con?trasting forces. In the case of the present work, the title, according to Mennin, may be said to identify a miniature "concerto for orchestra," in which the various instrumen?tal choirs alternate in prominence. The composer provided this outline of the work:
The composition opens very quietly with a sustained note in the first violins against which a characteristic harmonic idea is introduced by the woodwinds. This is then
used many times in variation throughout the work. Aside from several new ideas which are introduced in the "Allegro, " the introduc?tory section contains most of the materials for the whole work. The diversity and contrast in the materials themselves dictate the kind of growth and expansion they receive, and therefore the music unfolds along purely musical lines.
Circuits
Cindy McTee
Born February 20, 1953 in Washington State
Now living in Denlon, Texas
Circuits was composed in 1990 under a commis?sion from the Denlon Chamber Orchestra, which gave the premiere on April 21 of that year under Jonathan Roller. The full orchestra version of this work was introduced by the National Repertory Orchestra, Steven Smith conducting, in Keystone, Colorado, on August 14, 1991. A version for concert band was given its first performance on February 2 of that year by the Indiana University Wind Ensemble, conducted by Ray Cramer.
The score, as revised in 1992, calls for three flutes, three oboes, three clarinets, three bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, snare drum, small bass drum, cowbell, four Almglocken, metal plate, two wood blocks, two small suspended cymbals, five temple blocks, tambourine, glockenspiel, vibraphone, and strings. Approximate performance time: six minutes.
After completing her undergraduate studies with David Robbins at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington, Cindy McTee earned a Master of Music degree at Yale University, where she studied with Jacob Druckman, Bruce MacCombie and Krzysztof Penderecki, and a Ph.D. at the University of Iowa under the direction of Richard Hervig. Her training also included
a year at the Higher School of Music in Krakow, where she studied further with Penderecki and his compatriots Marek Stachowski and Krystyna Moszumanska-Nazar. Her own teaching experience began at her alma mater in Tacoma in 1981; after three years there she joined the faculty of the University of North Texas in Denton, where she now is a professor of music.
Leonard Slatkin and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra first performed McTee's music in 1987, when one of her works, On Wings of Infinite Night, was included in the readings program under the sponsorship of the American Symphony Orchestra League. Her music was part of the celebration of her teacher Penderecki's sixtieth birthday in Krakow, in 1993, and her works have been performed widely in our own country -by more than fifty orchestras and wind ensembles in venues ranging from Carnegie Hall to university campuses. Among her numerous honors and awards are a Composer's Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Goddard Lieberson Fellowship from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, a Senior Fulbright Scholar Lecturing Award in electronic music at the Academy of Music in Krakow, a BMI Award, the Woods-Chandler Memorial Prize from Yale, and commissions from the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition, the American Guild of Organists, the College Band Directors National Association, and the Pi Kappa Lambda Board of Regents.
As noted above, Circuits exists in three versions; those for chamber orchestra and for full orchestra were actually created at the same time, and the one for concert band only a few months later. The full orchestra version had its first hearing in the "Spirit of Today's West" Composers Competition held in Keystone, Colorado in the summer of 1991, and was one of the six works in the final round of that event. By that time the band version had also been
introduced, and since then the full orchestra version has been heard in Memphis and elsewhere.
The composer, who advises that she was interested in writing a work with a strong pulse and with ostinatos, but that it is not meant to be in the minimalist style, explains the title:
Circuits is meant to characterize several important aspects of the work's musical lan?guage: a reliance upon circuitous structures such as ostinatos; the use of a formal design incorporating numerous recurring short sections; and the presence of an unrelenting kinetic energy achieved through the use of sixteenth-notes at a constant tempo of 152 beats per minute.
Evening Land, Symphony
Joseph Schwantner
Born March 22, 1943 in Chicago
Now living in Fairport, New York
Evening Land, commissioned jointly by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, was completed in September 1995 and received its premiere performances on November 24, 25, and 26, 1995, with Leonard Slalkin, conductor, and Linda Hohenfeld, soprano. The sung text is drawn from poems by Par Lagerkvist. The score, "dedicated, with admiration, to Milton Barlow, a man of extraordinary vision and humanity, " calls for soprano solo with two flutes, piccolo, two oboes, English horn, two clar?inets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, two bass drums, three tom-toms, timbales, marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, tubular bells, two-octave set of crotales, glockenspiel, two tam-tams, suspended cymbals, suspended triangles,
amplified piano, amplified harpsichord, harp, and strings. Approximate duration: twenty-five minutes.
The close connections between Leonard Slatkin and Joseph Schwantner over the last decade and a half make it especially fitting that a new work by Mr. Schwantner should be among the features of Mr. Slatkin's valedictory season as music director of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. Since September 1980, when he introduced Aftertones of Infinity (the work for which Mr. Schwantner received the Pulitzer Prize the previous year) into the orchestra's repertory, Mr. Slatkin has conducted eight other Schwantner works with the SLSO, and recorded four. Several of these -Magabunda (Four Poems of Aguda Pizarro), A Sudden Rainbow, the Piano Concerto -were com?missioned and introduced by the SLSO, either during or following Mr. Schwantner's tenure as the orchestra's first composer-in-residence (1982-85). Mr. Slatkin has also been conspicuously active in conducting Mr. Schwantner's music in his guest appearances with other orchestras in our country and abroad; he recorded Aftertones of Infinity with The Juilliard Orchestra several years ago, and in January 1995 presided over the New York Philharmonic's world premiere perfor?mances of the Schwantner Percussion Concerto, commissioned by that orchestra in celebration of its sesquicentenary (and dedi?cated to the memory of the composer's friend and colleague Stephen Albert). The new work being performed in tonight's concert further documents this long and productive relationship by including a solo part written specifically for Linda Hohenfeld, a singer who also has performed several of Mr. Schwantner's works and who holds a position of unique importance in Mr. Slatkin's life.
The title Evening Land is that of a collec?tion of poems by the Swedish novelist, poet
and Nobel laureate Par Lagerkvist (1891-1974), whose poems have been set as songs by the Finnish composer Yrjo Kilpinen and others. Lagerkvist's Aftonland, first published in Stockholm in 1953, was subsequently brought out in a bilingual edition with English translations by W.H. Auden and Leif Sjoberg. Mr. Schwantner, who has taken his text for the present work from four of these poems, has remarked that they
. . . evoke a sense of transcendence, timeless-ness and universality, all qualities that helped frame the direction and flow of my 7nusical imagination. In his ninth collection of poems, Lagerkvist considers old age, the mystery of life and of God, loneliness, alien?ation, and the coming of death.
The poems, in fact, had inspired an earlier work of Mr. Schwantner's, the orches?tral piece Long before the Winds, which was introduced by the San Diego Symphony under Vassili Sinayski in November 1989. That work, whose title zuas taken from a line in one of Lagerkvist's poems, did not include an actual setting of words; it has been with?drawn and now, as Mr. Schwantner advises, forms the basis for his new symphony.
The large-scale bipartite formal design of the symphony consists of a first movement for orchestra alone and a second that includes a soprano voice in a setting of selected poems from Aftonland. The musical genesis for the work springs from a short piece written for the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, music that was strongly influenced by the powerful imagery of Lagerkvist's poetry. I revised, expanded and further developed the musical materials in order to engage more fully Lagerkvist's mysteriously compelling world.
As the first movement opens, three pri?mary musical elements appear: (1) a strongly punctuated four-note sonority, sharply artic?ulated by low winds, brass and strings; (2) an upwardly sxveeping nine-note gesture, derived from the opening four notes, stated
by upper winds and strings with percussion, harp and piano; (3) a softly sustained string sonority derived from (2). While they differ in expression, character and shape, each subsequent idea develofis from the pre?ceding one in an organic continuum. The rondo-like movement unfolds in a series of sections in which these fundamental musical elements reaftpear and are continually! juxta?posed.
Throughout the slow, elegiac second movement, a series of chorale-like harmonic textures unfolds over low orchestral pedal points while the soprano sings in a recitative-like manner. In contrast to the first movement, the second possesses a seamless and continuous quality in order to capture and enhance the simplicity, seriousness and universality of Lagerkvist 's poetic voice -to embrace, as he remarks, "simple thoughts, uncomplicated feelings when confronted with life's eternal powers. " As the work draws to its close, the soprano slowly moves to an off?stage position xohile continuing to intone a solemn, intimate and meditative incantation: "Long before the sea, long before the moun?tains, long before the winds. "
--Joseph Schwantner
Evening Land
by Par Lagerkvist
Delightful being, morning with rosy lips,
sing for me. Sing a song, early and clear like dew, like
young glass,
a song that transfigures everything.

All is there, only I am no more,
all is still there, the fragrance of rain in the
grass as I remember it, and the sough of the wind
in the trees, the flight of the clouds and the disquiet of
the human heart.
Only my heart's disquiet is no longer there.

I listen to the wind that obliterates my traces.
The wind that remembers nothing, under?stands nothing nor cares what it does, but is so lovely to listen to.
The soft wind,
soft like oblivion.
When the new morning breaks
I shall wander further,
in the windless dawn begin my wandering
afresh
with my very first step in the wonderfully untouched sand.

My longing is not my own. It is just as old as the stars. Once born like them out of Nothing, out of the boundless void.
The murmur in the trees,
the beating of the wave against the shore,
the tall mountains far away --
they arouse my longing.
But not to anything here.
To something infinitely far away,
something long, long ago --
Long before the sea, long before the
mountains, long before the winds.

Symphony No. i in A-flat Major, Op. 55
Sir Edward Elgar
Born June 2, 185J in Broadheath, England
Died February 23, igj4 in Worcester
Elgar began sketching his First Symphony at Hereford in June 190J, continued to shape the work during a visit to Rome the following winter, and completed it in the summer of 1908. The score bears a dedication to "a true artist and true friend, " Hans Richter, who conducted the first per?formance in a concert of the Halle Orchestra in Manchester on December 3, 1908.
The orchestra indicated in the score comprises four flutes and piccolo, four oboes and English horn, four clarinets and bass clarinet, four bassoons and contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, bass drum, side drum, two harps, and strings. Approximate performance time: fifty-two minutes.
Brahms, intimidated by the specter of Beethoven, did not complete a symphony until he was forty-three years old, though he worked on it off and on for some twenty years or more. Elgar, whose orchestral output was vastly larger than Brahms's, did not set to work on a symphony until the month in which he turned fifty; it took him only a year to complete the score, but he was to produce only two works in this form (though a start was made on a third). One thing Brahms and Elgar shared as symphonists was the enthusiasm of the great conductor Hans Richter, who was as ardent a champion of Elgar's works during his British years as he had been of Brahms's in Vienna.
Just four days after he presided over the premiere of the Elgar First Symphony in Manchester, Richter conducted the work in London, on which occasion he proclaimed it "the greatest symphony of modern times." He was not alone in his enthusiasm; the
Manchester and London premieres touched off even greater jubilation among Britons than the Brahms First had in Germany and Austria thirty-two years earlier, and within little more than a year there were one hundred further performances.
While Richter's pronouncement may smack of hyperbole, particularly to partisans of Mahler (whose Seventh Symphony was introduced in Prague in September 1908, and whose Eighth Symphony and Das Lied von derErdewere completed by then), there is no denying that this Symphony in A-flat, represents the highest achievement in British orchestral music up to its time, as well as what the English musicologist H. C. Colles identified as "the majestic opening of the richest period in Elgar's career."
While Elgar had composed music for a children's play when he was only twelve years old (music he revised, published, and performed at the age of fifty as his Op. 1, the two Wand of Youth suites), he did not write for large orchestra at all until 1890, when he composed the concert overture Froissart, and not again until the Imperial March of 1897. It was with choral works that he achieved the recognition he enjoyed dur?ing the nineties, and the cantata Caractacus, performed at the Leeds Festival of 1898, brought that recognition to a gratifying level (with The Dream ofGerontius then still two years in the future). The Enigma Variations, composed the following spring and intro?duced in London under Richter's baton in June 1899, actually represented Elgar's first major work for large orchestra. That success?ful premiere was followed by Elgar's own performance of the revised version (with the coda suggested by Richter) at Worcester three months later, whereupon the work established him solidly as a master whose only rival in the orchestral sphere, many insisted, was Richard Strauss.
Apparently Elgar gave no serious thought to writing a symphony until 1898,
when he considered writing one as a tribute to General Gordon. He composed the Enigma Variations instead, then wrote Gerontitis, a number of other choral works (The Apostles, The Kingdom, etc.), the splendid Cockaigne Overture, the Introduction and Allegro for string orchestra, the first four Pomp and Circumstance marches, and various occasional pieces related to the coronation of Edward vn (to whose memory the Second Symphony is inscribed). Evidently Elgar's sense of timing was right, for each of these works, in its own way, reflects the happiest blend of sheer inspiration and polished craftsmanship appropriate to its particular form. There was nothing impulsive in Elgar's makeup; he was not one to go off half-cocked, or to allow a trace of the earnest novice in what he offered to the public. When he did take up a symphony, it was with the full confidence that he knew what he wanted to do and was capable of carrying it off grandly.
The significance of his achievement in this case went beyond the purely musical context. The time was one of great upheaval in Europe, even if few observers then had any notion of what was to burst upon them in 1914, or how the lives of both individuals and nations were to be altered. For England the year in which the symphony was intro?duced was one of profound economic depression. The Edwardian interlude, and Elgar's symphonies as musical reflections thereof, tend to be regarded as smug, self-satisfied, disdainful of the world beyond the boundaries of the club, the court, the formal garden, the hunt, and various military and religious ceremonies. Elgar himself knew better; when pressed to divulge a "program" for his symphony, he replied that it had no specific theme "beyond a wide experience of human life, a great charity (love), and a massive hope in the future."
The term nobilmente may not have been invented by Elgar, but he made it his own,
particularly with his use of it in the opening movements of both of his symphonies. The introduction to the First, marked "Andante nobilmente e semplice," is built on a theme whose grandeur lies in the very austerity of its deliberate tread; it has to be the "motto" theme for the work, and so it is. The "Allegro appassionato" bursts forth and a number of restless themes swirl through this broadly proportioned movement before it reaches its luminous conclusion following a restatement of the tread-like "motto."
A more assertive march-like figure grows out of the darting, mercurial opening of the second movement "Allegro molto," an extremely brilliant scherzo, though not so titled. The middle section has a deliciously insinuating, somewhat folk character, rather like the trio of the second Pomp and Circumstance march -the sort of tune that stays in one's head for weeks. (Elgar said it should be played "like something you hear down by the river"). The scherzo comes to an end with a gradual slowing-down and a hint of the "motto" theme, and passes seam?lessly into the "Adagio." The opening theme of the slow movement may be recognized, on paper, as that of the preceding scherzo, but the treatment is so different that this is much less apparent to the ear alone.
The "Lento" introduction to the final movement has a somewhat ominous character; it is a fleeting reference to the "motto" theme, now limpid and flowing, that provides a reassuring touch. Progress into the main body of the movement is unhurried, and when the "Allegro" theme emerges, restless and soaring, its affirmative nature is unmis?takable. The "motto" theme reappears in its original tread-like guise, and in the majestic coda marked "Grandioso" it is transformed into a sweepingly triumphal statement as if the " massive hoe" of which Elgar spoke had itself been transformed into ringing certitude.
Notes by Richard Freed
Leonard Slatkin, Beofor Music Director and Conductor, first came to the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra in 1968 as assis?tant conductor to Walter Susskind. Since that time his contributions to the SLSO have been exceptional in achievement and scope. Upon being named music director and conductor in 1979, Slatkin quickly estab?lished goals for the organization in the areas of touring, recording, education, and com?munity involvement. Now, seventeen years later, the realization of those goals has made the SLSO an exceptional orchestra, primed for the twenty-first century. Acclaimed tours of Europe (1985 and 1993) and the Far East (ig86, 1990, and 1995) elevated the orchestra's reputation as one of the finest in the world. His recordings with the SLSO received fifty Grammy Award nominations over the last seventeen years, winning four awards during this period. Weekly broadcasts of concerts on National Public Radio strengthened the orchestra's appeal across the United States.
Maestro Slatkin's vision for the orchestra's role in music education led to the Saint Louis Symphony Community Music School, the first merger of an orchestra and a commu?nity music school in the nation. As associate conductor, he established the Saint Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra in 1969 with the help of the Volunteer Association. His commitment to diversity was an inspiration behind the Community Outreach Program and IN UNISON?, a partnership between African-American churches and the SLSO, which now is considered a national model. The Community Partnership Program, a novel program which matches the musicians of the orchestra with the needs of the com?munity, is an extension of Maestro Slatkin's
own personal involvement in the Saint Louis area.
After twenty-seven years of affiliation with the SLSO, Leonard Slatkin will step down as music director at the end of this season and assume the title of Conductor Laureate. At that time he will become Music Director of the National Symphony Orchestra.
Leonard Slatkin records for BMG Classics, an international company that includes RCA Victor Red Seal, Eurodisc and Deutsche Harmonia Mundi. His contract with the company, the most comprehensive and extensive in the classical recording industry today, calls for a total of forty discs -thirty with the SLSO and ten with orchestras in Europe. Recent releases include a recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 10 in a perfor?mance version by Remo Mazzetti and a Leroy Anderson disc with the SLSO, and Haydn's Symphonies Nos. 94, g8, and 104 with the London Philharmonia.
Maestro Slatkin is in great demand world?wide as a guest conductor, with regular appearances over the last two decades with the major orchestras of New York, Philadel?phia, Chicago, Cleveland, and Boston, die Philharmonia (London), the Berlin Philhar?monic, the Vienna Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, l'Orchestra de Paris, and the Israel Philharmonic. This season he will return to conduct the Philharmonia, the New York Philharmonic, and the Orchestre National de France, among other engagements.
Equally acclaimed as an opera conductor, he has conducted the Metropolitan Opera, Vienna State Opera, Hamburg Opera, Stuttgart Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.
Mr. Slatkin recendy completed his fourth summer as music director of the Blossom Music Festival of The Cleveland Orchestra. The position, the first such appointment in
the twenty-three-year history of the festival, was created for him because of his unique talents for creative programming.
Other honors Mr. Slatkin has received include ASCAP Awards in 1984, 1986, 1990 and 1994 for "adventuresome programming of contemporary music" with the SLSO, Grammy nominations for two of his record?ings with the Philharmonia, and several honorary doctorates, including one from his alma mater. The Juilliard School. In 1993 he received the Laurel Leaf Award from the American Composers Alliance and was named an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music.
Leonard Slatkin was born in Los Angeles, California. His parents, conductor-violinist Felix Slatkin and cellist Eleanor Aller, were founding members of the famed Hollywood String Quartet. After beginning his musical career on the piano, Mr. Slatkin first studied conducting with his father and continued with Walter Susskind at Aspen and Jean Morel at The Juilliard School.
This evening's performance marks Maestro Slatkin's second appearance under UMS auspices.
versatile performer,
soprano Linda Hohenfeld
has appeared in a wide
range ol musical media, fmmtm including opera, musi-M cal theater, symphonic
KL mKi inn i-i is. recitals, and
chamber music. She has sung with many of North America's leading orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Ms. Hohenfeld's appearances in Europe include performances in Great Britain with the Philharmonia Orchestra and City of Birmingham Orchestra, and on the continent with the Maggio Musicale in Florence, the Hamburg Opera Orchestra, and the Berlin Radio Symphony. In Asia she has sung in a number of televised concerts with the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo.
Linda Hohenfeld's recent and upcoming engagements include performances with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, and a performance at Carnegie Hall with David Randolph. She is also singing additional
performances with the Maggio Musicale and with the NHK Symphony Orchestra.
Ms. Hohenfeld's repertoire spans a diversity of styles and compositions, from Broadway and the works of contemporary composers to the more traditional symphonic literature. A champion of a wide variety of twentieth-century works, Linda Hohenfeld appeared at the request of composer William Schuman in a Lincoln Center Library concert honoring his work and music in 1 go, 1. Her discography includes Vaughan Williams's Symphonies Nos. 3 and 7 with the Philharmonia Orchestra of London, as well as a recording of Leonard Bernstein's Songfest with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, all on RCA Red Seal. Earlier this year, she recorded Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915 as part of an American music project with the Nurnberg Symphony Orchestra in Germany for release on the Deutsche Schallplatten label.
Linda Hohenfeld has performed with many summer music festivals, including Aspen, Cabrillo, Marlboro, Copenhagen's Tivoli Festival, and the Frankfurt Feste in Germany. She made her debut with The Cleveland Orchestra during the 1990 Blossom Festival in a performance of Bernstein's Songfest. The following summer, she appeared in William Schuman's baseball cantata, Casey at the Bat, and, in 1992, sang in a Blossom Festival concert featuring selec?tions from several of Leonard Bernstein's Broadway musicals.
This evening's performance marks Ms. Hohenfeld's UMS debut.
I he Saint Louis Symphony 1 Orchestra is recognized internationally as an orchestra of the highest caliber, performing a broad musical repertoire with skill and spirit. Now entering its one-hundred-sixteenth season, the SLSO continues to break new ground, setting the course for American orchestras.
In September 1994 the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra became the first major orchestra in the country to establish a formal "Community Partnership Program." Far reaching in its goals, the program directs the varied talents of individual musicians toward addressing educational and social needs in the community. Recognized as unique resources, the musicians are strategi?cally dispatched for activities such as teaching, mentoring, guest appearances, recitals and chamber music programs.
The Community Partnership Program grew out a successful Community Outreach Program, aimed at reaching new audiences through various special programs. The core of the outreach program continues to be IN UNISON?, a partnership between the orchestra, African-American churches and other organizations in Saint Louis.
Revitalization for the Future, the long-range plan introduced by the orchestra in November 1993, is a comprehensive program of artistic, educational and community initia?tives. The boldest step forward is the creation of the Saint Louis Symphony Community Music School, which opened in September 1994. The first of its kind, the Symphony Music School offers music education classes and performance opportunities to students of all ages and abilities, at six locations throughout the Saint Louis area.
The Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra continues to attract new listeners across
America through weekly broadcasts on National Public Radio and frequent tours of the Midwest and the East and West Coasts (including annual performances in Carnegie Hall). Tours to Europe in 1985 and 1994 and to the Far East in 1986, 1990, and 1995 under the direction of Leonard Slatkin have spread the reputation of the SLSO worldwide.
Recordings by the SLSO have been nom?inated for Grammy Awards every year since 1977, with a total of four Grammies and fifty nominations. The orchestra's contract with BMG ClassicsRCA Victor Red Seal calls for thirty-three releases over eight years, the most comprehensive agreement in the clas?sical recording industry. Upcoming releases on RCA include Mahler's Symphony No. 10, and a disc of music by Leroy Anderson.
One of the first orchestras in the country to welcome a composer-in-residence through the Meet the Composers program, the SLSO has been home to Pulitzer Prize-winner Joseph Schwantner (1982-1985), Grawemeyer Award-winner Joan Tower (1985-1988), Donald Erb (1988-1 gg 1), and jazz composer Donal Fox (iggi-1992). Claude Baker has served as composer-in-residence since the iggi-g2 season.
Beginning with the igg6-g7 season Dutch conductor Hans Vonk becomes the eleventh music director and conductor of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. He succeeds Leonard Slatkin, who will leave the post and become the conductor laureate at that time.
The conducting staff also includes Associate Principal Conductor David Loebel, and Marin Alsop, who has been named to the orchestra's first Creative Conductor Chair beginning September 1 gg6.
This eveling's performance marks the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra's third appearance under UMS auspices.

St. Petersburg's Visions
(1995) dedicated to Yuri Temirkanov
Sergei Slonitnsky
Born August 12, 1932 in Leningrad
"there are some rather queer corners in Petersburg, life in those remote corners seems a world apart. . .that peculiar mixture of something that is purely fantastic, ardently idealistic and also, at the same time (alas) bleakly humdrum and ordinary. . .these remote corners are inhabited by some queer people -by dreamers. "
-Dostoyevski, White Knights
St. Petersburg's Visions was commissioned for this current United States tour o? the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra by Yuri Temirkanov, Music Director and Principal Conductor, and is dedicated to him.
Sergei Slonimsky, Professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, is the composer of ten symphonies; Symphony No. 10, "Circles of Inferno," based on Dante, had its premiere this year in St. Petersburg. He also composed the operas Virineya (1967), Master and Margarita (1972) which is based on the novel by Bulgakov, Mary Stuart (1980) with a libretto by Yakov Gordin based on the novel of Stephan Zweig, Hamlet (1990) based on the translation by Pasternak, and Ioann Grozny (Ivan the Terrible) (1994) with a libretto by Yakov Gordin based on the "History of the Russian State" by Karamzine: His other works include the ballet Ikarus, the Concerto-buffo for chamber orchestra; Anliphones for string quartet; twenty-four preludes and fugues for piano; and many other symphonic, chamber, instrumental and vocal pieces. Other compositions range from romances on the Akharnarova poems, "Mandelshram," "Brodski," and "Rein," to piano pieces for children, and music for film and theatre.
Violin Concerto No. i in g minor, Op. 26
Max Bruch
Born January 6, 1838 in Cologne, Germany
Died October 2, 1920 in Friedenau, near Berlin
Bruch's Concerto in g minor is the work of a young man of twenty-eight who already had several successful compositions to his credit, including an opera, Die Lorelei, performed in several German theatres. With his violin concerto, Bruch -who had recently been appointed as music director in the city of Coblenz -intended to confirm his position as a prominent composer of the Schumann-Mendelssohn school. While he was working on the concerto, he confided to his former teacher Ferdinand Hiller in a letter, "My Violin Concerto is progressing slowly -I do not feel sure of my feet in this terrain. Do you not think that it is in fact very auda?cious to write a Violin Concerto" Bruch finally sought the advice of Joseph Joachim, one of the greatest violinists of the day, who also helped Brahms and Dvorak with their concertos. The correspondence between Bruch and Joachim, which contains extensive musical notation, reveals how many details had to be changed before the concerto assumed its final form.
Bruch may have been a traditional com?poser, but he was not one to follow the conventions slavishly. The form of his first movement, which bears the title "Vorspiel" (Prelude), is much looser and more fantasy-like than the first movements of most concer?tos. It begins with a violin cadenza, followed by the main theme which, too, has a certain cadenza-like freedom to it, despite its strict rhythm marked by the timpani and the double bass. The lyrical second theme evolves into a section filled with scintillating passagework, followed by a dramatic section for orchestra alone. After this, the initial cadenza turns
into the second-movement "Adagio," warmly lyrical and exceptionally rich in melodic invention.
The theme of the third-movement "Finale" begins after an introduction of a few bars. It is a brilliant melody full of virtuosic double-stops and arpeggios, followed by a dramatic second theme. The movement follows the rules of sonata form, although the develop?ment is extremely brief. There is a substantial coda, however, bringing some harmonic surprises and previously unheard variations on the two diemes. The concerto ends in a faster tempo.
Bruch lived more than fifty years after completing his g-minor concerto. He wrote about one-hundred compositions, including the popular Scottish Fantasy (for violin and orchestra), the KolNidrei (for cello and orchestra) and two more violin concertos. Yet it is the present work that has kept his name firmly in the repertoire since the day of the premiere. The composer, who sold the rights to his work to the publisher for a one-time lump payment, no doubt regretted his naivete in later years.
Symphony No. i in D Major,
"Titan"
Gustav Mahler
Born July j, i860 in Kalischt, Bohemia j Died May 18, ipn in Vienna
In the four years that elapsed between the first sketches of Gustav Mahler's First Symphony and the completion of the score, Mahler changed his city of residence three times. In 1884, he was assistant conductor at the Kassel opera house; by 1888 -after brief stints in Prague and Leipzig -the composer, still only twenty-eight, had been appointed to his first important post as Director of the Royal Opera in Budapest. The First Symphony is a youthful work,
but many features of Mahler's mature style were already fully formed at this early stage. Other composers had written masterpieces in their twenties, but few had been so inde?pendent from their models as Mahler. As the composer himself once remarked, Beethoven had started out as a Mozartian composer and Wagner as a follower of Weber and Meyerbeer, but he, Mahler, "had been condemned by a cruel fate to being himself from the start."
To Mahler -as to Beethoven before him -the symphony was a form of drama. In later years, he was to speak about the uni?versality of the symphony and the necessity for it "to embrace everything." This heaven-storming attitude is already evident in the First Symphony, and it accounts in no small part for the difficulties encountered by Mahler during the work's genesis, which was by no means over at the Budapest premiere in 1889.
At the first performance, this work had five movements. It was given under the title "Symphonic Poem in two parts" -the first three movements comprising Part I and the last two forming Part II. When the work was performed again in 1893, Mahler called it 'Titan," after Jean Paul's novel of the same name. After 1896, however, this title was removed, and the second movement "Blumine" was eliminated.
The first movement was called, at the time when the movements still had titles, "Fruhling und kein Ende" (Spring Without End). We witness the gradual awakening of spring. We hear a single perfect fourth (Mahler called it a "sound of nature" in the score) over a sustained pedal; everything grows out of this one interval, like a tree from a small seed. Even the call of the cuckoo, evoked by the clarinet, is a perfect fourth, although this bird knows only thirds in reality. But the unifying factor of the movement (and, indeed, of the entire symphony) is the fourth, as we realize when the slow introduc-
tion gradually gives way into the movement's main section. The whole movement, in classical sonata form, is based on the second of the "Wayfarer" songs: "Ging heut morgens tibers Feld" (I walked this morning through the field) -an early example of the intertwining of song and symphony so frequent in Mahler's later work.
It is said that Mahler had to change the beginning of the second-movement handler (at one time called "Mil vollen Segeln" [Under Full Sail]), because it sounded too much like one of Bruckner's themes. As it is, the theme sounds distinctly Mahlerian, echoing the early song "Hansel und GreteF written around 1880. A simple tune, rather unassuming in itself, is played with great rhythmic energy, and is soon taken up by the full orchestra (with a large brass section comprising seven horns and four trumpets) with a tempo marking "Wild." The Trio, in the words of Michael Steinberg, "fascinatingly contrasts the simplicity of the rustic, super-Austrian material with the artfulness of its arrangement. It is an early instance of what [German philosopher and musician] Theodor W. Adorno perceived as the essence of Mahler, the turning of cliche into event."
The third movement, which should be preceded by a long pause, had been variously called "A la pompes funebres" (Funeral March), "Funeral March in Callot's Manner," and, perhaps most surprisingly, "Gestrandetl" (Stranded!). The immediate inspiration came from a then-popular woodcut by Moritz Schwind (who, as a young man, had been a close friend of Schubert) called the Huntsman's Funeral, in which the hunter is buried by the animals of the forest. The first audiences clearly didn't know what to make of this movement, in which they couldn't fail to recognize the popular "Frere Jacques" melody -transposed into a minor key. The "alienation" of this familiar tune results in a mixture of humor, tragedy, mystery and
irony for which there had hardly been a precedent in the history of music.
This grotesque funeral march evolves into an openly parodic section whose unabashedly "schmaltzy" themes, played by oboes and trumpets, are reminiscent of klezmer music (Eastern European Jewish instrumental folk music). As a total contrast, there suddenly appears another melody from the "Wayfarer" songs ("Auf der Strafie stand tin Lindenbaum"-By the road stands a linden tree), almost transfigured and painfully nostalgic, scored for muted strings plus two unmuted solo violins, accompanied by the harp. A more subdued recapitulation of the "Frere Jacques" tune and the klezmer material ends this unusual movement.
The finale, which follows the third move?ment without a pause, is the longest and most complex movement in the symphony. It represents a progression from tragedy to triumph like many earlier symphonic finales, but the contrasts between the various emo?tions are exceptionally polarized. The move?ment lacks tonal unity as it opens in f minor and closes in D Major; in the 1880's, this was quite a revolutionary way of handling tonality. The fabric of this movement includes a lyrical second theme that -as in several of Mahler's later symphonies -seems to introduce us to a completely different world; there are exuberant climaxes followed by relapse into despair, and numerous recurrences of mate?rials from the first movement. The work ends in a radiant D-Major coda proclaiming the final victory.
Bruch and Mahler notes by Peter Laki, program annotatorfor The Cleveland Orchestra
In April 1988 Yuri Temirkanov was named Music Director and Principal Conductor of the St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) Philharmonic Orchestra, succeed?ing Evgeny Mravinsky. Prior to his appointment with that ensemble, he was Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the Kirov Opera.
In the United States, where he is one of the most well-known and highly regarded Russian conductors, Mr. Temirkanov led the Philadelphia Orchestra regularly between 1975 and 1980. In January 1986, he made an historic appearance with the New York Philharmonic as the first Soviet conductor to visit the United States following die renewal of the SovietAmerican Cultural Exchange Agreement, winning exceptional critical acclaim. He has since returned many times to conduct not only die New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra, but also the Boston Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony. His American tour with the Leningrad Philharmonic (as it was still known) in November 1990 marked the orchestra's return to the United States after more dian a decade.
In Europe, Maestro Temirkanov has conducted all of the leading orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, the Dresden Staatskapelle, l'Orchestre de Paris and the Royal Concert-gebouw Orchestra. In 1977 he made his
London debut with the Royal Philharmonic and starting with the 1979-1980 season became its Principal Guest Conductor. After eleven years in that position, he succeeded Andre Previn as Principal Conductor in September 1992.
In 1988 Maestro Temirkanov began a long-term exclusive relationship with BMG ClassicsRCA Victor Red Seal. His numer?ous releases include the complete Stravinsky ballets with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and works of Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Among his most recent releases is a recording with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic of Prokofiev's score to Eisenstein's film Alexander Nevsky.
Maestro Temirkanov's forthcoming engagements include return visits to New York and Philadelphia, his debut tour of Australia with the Sydney and Melbourne symphony orchestras, and international tours with the St. Petersburg and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras.
This evening's performance marks Maestro Temirkanov's second appearance under UMS auspices.
L merican violinist
Pamela Frank has estab-
lished as outstanding
international reputation ?L across an unusually var-m ied range of performing
JL pBHi ,u livily. In addition to
her extensive schedule of engagements with prestigious orchestras throughout the world and her recitals on the leading concert stages, she is regularly sought after as a chamber music partner by today's most distinguished soloists and ensembles.
Ms. Frank's 1995-96 season includes appearances with the Atlanta Symphony, the
Boston Symphony, Washington's National Symphony, Miami's New World Symphony, the San Francisco Symphony and the Vancouver Symphony. She makes her first tour of Australia, performing with the orchestras of Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne and Sydney, and twice travels to Japan for chamber, orchestral and recital engagements. She also joins the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra on this American tour. She will give several series of recitals with her father, pianist Claude Frank, highlighted by a tour of Italy and an appearance at New York's 92nd Street Y. Next month, she will be fea?tured on a "Live from Lincoln Center" telecast of Hausmusik with Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma and others from Alice Tully Hall. Due for release that month on Sony Classical is a recording by those artists of repertoire from the program, including Schubert's "Trout" Quintet. This summer she is scheduled to give the world premiere of Lament and Prayer by Aaron Jay Kernis with the Minnesota Orchestra.
Last season, Ms. Frank made her New York Philharmonic debut and appeared with many other leading ensembles, including the Philadelphia Orchestra, l'Orchestre de Paris, The Cleveland Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic and, on a tour of Germany,
the Cincinnati Symphony. She also gave recitals in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna and New York, where she made her Carnegie Hall debut. Among her chamber music projects were a series of duo recitals with Yo-Yo Ma and a tour with Mr. Ma, Emanuel Ax, Eugenia Zukerman and Paul Meyer in a program of works by Brahms and Schoenberg (to be repeated diis season in Paris).
In the recording studio, Pamela Frank has recorded the complete Beethoven sonata cycle for MusicMasters Classics, with Claude Frank at the piano. The first volume, featur?ing the Sonatas Nos. 1 and 9 (Kreuzter), has already been released to exceptional critical acclaim. For Sony Classical, she recorded the Chopin Piano Trio with Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma, and is featured on the soundtrack to the film Immortal Beloved.
Born in New York City, Pamela Frank is the daughter of noted pianists Claude Frank and Lillian Kallir: the three frequently play chamber music both at home and before the public. Ms. Frank began her violin studies at age five and after eleven years as a pupil of Shirley Givens continued her musical education with Szymon Goldberg and Jaime Laredo. In 985 she formally launched her career with the first of her four appearances with Alexander Schneider and the New York String Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. A recipient of the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant in 1988, she graduated the following year from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where she now lives.
This evening's performance marks Ms. Frank's UMS debut.
T"" 'le St. Petersburg
1 Philharmonic Orchestra is Russia's oldest symphony orchestra. It was formed out of the nineteenth-century "Imperial Music flR. Choir" iii 1882 but initial?ly served the Court and aristocratic circles. As early as October 19, 1917 the ensemble was declared a state orchestra, giving its first public concert in Soviet Russia. A year later the orchestra was incorporated into the newly founded Petrograd Philharmonic Society, the first concert organization of the U.S.S.R. In iggi,just after its home city was renamed, the Orchestra changed its name from the Leningrad Philharmonic to the St. Petersburg Philharmonic. Today it is internationally recognized as one of the world's premier symphonic ensembles.
The Philharmonic's first principal con?ductors were Emil Cooper (1921-22) and Nikolai Malko (1926-29). During its earliest years, the orchestra was also conducted by Alexander Glazunov, Serge Koussevitsky, Gregor Fitelberg and Nikolai Tcherepnin, as well as abroad by such figures as Bruno Walter, Oscar Fried, Erich Kleiber, Otto Klemperer and Hans Knappertsbusch. In the 1930's, the orchestra was headed by Alexander Gauk and the Austrian conductor Fritz Stiedry.
For fifty years, from 1938 to 1988, Evgeny -Mravinsky was the orchestra's Music Director. During World War II, the orchestra continued to give concerts without interruption, even as Leningrad was being evacuated. After 1945, the orchestra under Mravinsky was active in introducing to Russia important foreign composers and conductors, including Leopold Stokowski, Charles Munch, Andre Cluytens, Igor Markevitch, Josef Krips,
Zoltan Kodaly and Benjamin Britten. In 1946 it undertook the first tour of the West by a Soviet orchestra, and since then has been acclaimed by the public and press alike in over twenty-five countries throughout Europe, North America and the Far East.
The St. Petersburg Philharmonic has played a major role in furthering the careers of Russian and Soviet composers. The orchestra premiered Shostakovich's First Symphony in 1926, bringing immediate international attention to the nineteen-year-old composer, whose close association with the orchestra -which went on to premiere seven of his subsequent symphonies -continued until his death in 1975.
In 1988 Yuri Temirkanov was appointed Music Director and Principal Conductor of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic with Mariss Jansons continuing as Associate Principal Conductor, a post he has held since 1985.
The St. Petersburg Philharmonic has established an important relationship with BMG ClassicsRCA Victor Red Seal, which has recently released Tchaikovsky's Symphonies Nos. 4, 5 and 6, conducted by Yuri Temirkanov, as part of a complete cycle, as well as Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite and Symphony No. 5, and Rachmaninoff s Symphony No. 2, Symphonic Dances and Rhapsody on a Theme ofPaganini (with Dmitri Alexeev). The orchestra and Mariss Jansons have recorded the complete Rachmaninoff Symphonies and Piano Concertos (with Mikhail Rudy) for EMI.
This evening's performance marks the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra's sixth appearance under UMS auspices (four appearances as the Ixnigrad Philharmonic Orchestra, one previous appearance as the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra).

Prolonged Into Infinity
"I took the manuscript of The Trial into my keeping in June 1920 and immediately put it in order. The manuscript has no tide; but Kafka always called it The Trial in conversa?tion. . . . Franz regarded the novel as unfinished. . . . But as the trial, according to the author's own statement made by word of mouth, was never to get as far as the highest Court, in a certain sense the novel could never be terminated that is to say, it could be prolonged into infinity." I
I Max Brod, 1925
(From the postscript to the first edition of The Trial Reprinted as Appendix III in the definitive edition of the novel. O1984 by Alfred A. Knopf. Inc.)
A Poetic Reality In Its Own Right
Right down to the end we never find out what Joseph K.'s guilt consisted in, we never come to know the form of law his life was to have fulfilled. Kafka only renders the atmosphere -the climate and aura -of a human life's involvement with the suprahuman, with supreme truth. . . .
The perceptions and insights Kafka means to give expression to here are not his exclusive property. They are the common heritage of the mysticism of all times and nations. . . . The dual nature of his reality is achieved with the help of a kind of pseudorealism that merits special atten?tion. His fiction shapes a poetic reality in its own right, rounded, hermetically sealed on all sides, self-justified and self-supporting.

The Purity and Beauty of a Failure
The world of offices and registries, of musty, shabby, dark rooms, is Kafka's world. . . . Those holders of power in Kafka's works . . . live in the attics as judges or in the castle as secretaries; no matter how highly placed they may be, diey are always fallen or falling men, although even the lowest and seediest of them, the doorkeepers and the decrepit officials, may abruptly and strikingly appear in the fullness of their power. . . . There is much to indicate that the world of the officials and the world of the fathers are the same to Kafka. The similarity does not redound to this world's credit; it consists of dullness, decay, and dirt. . . . Uncleanness is so much the attribute of officials that one could almost regard them as enormous parasites. ... In the same way the fathers in Kafka's strange families batten on their sons, lying on top of them like giants parasites. . . . The fathers punish but they are at the same time the accusers. . . . The courts, to be sure, have lawbooks at their disposal, but people are not allowed to see them. "It is characteristic of this legal system," conjectures K., "that one is sentenced not only in innocence but also in ignorance." Laws and definite norms remain unwritten. . . . [One] can transgress them without suspecting it and ... no matter how hard it may hit the unsuspecting, the transgression in the sense of the law is not accidental but fated, a destiny which appears here in all its ambiguity. . . .
Beauty appears in Kafka's world only in the most obscure places -among the accused persons, for exam?ple. . . . From The Trial it may be seen that these pro?ceedings usually are hopeless for those accused -hope?less even when they have hopes of being acquitted. It may be this hopelessness that brings out the beauty in them. . . .
Kafka's entire work constitutes a code of gestures which surely had no definite symbolic meaning for the author from the outset; rather, the author tried to derive such a meaning from them in ever-changing contexts and experimental groupings. The theater is the logical place for such groupings. . . . Each gesture is an event -one might even say, a drama -in itself. . . . [It] combines the utmost mysteriousness with the utmost simplicity. . . .
Kafka's parables . . . unfold the way a bud turns into a blossom. That is why their effect resembles poetry. . . .
One has to find one's way in them circumspectly, cau?tiously, and warily. . . .
To do justice to the figure of Kafka in its purity and its peculiar beauty one must never lose sight of one thing: it is the purity and beauty of a failure. The circumstances of this failure are manifold. . . . There is nothing more memorable than the fervor widi which Kafka emphasized his failure.

I W. H. Aud?n, 1941 Had one to name the artist who comes nearest to bearing
the same kind of relation to our age that Dante, Shakespeare and Goethe bore to theirs, Kafka is the first one would think of. ... The predicament of his hero is the predicament of the contemporary man . . . [who] can never find it easy to have faith, but... if he loses it he is lost.
I Vladimir Nabokov, 1948 I The beauty of Kafka's . . . private nightmares is that their
central human characters belong to the same private fantastic world as the inhuman characters around them, but the central one tries to get out of that world, to cast off the mask, to transcend the cloak. . . . The limpidity of [Kafka's] style stresses the dark richness of his fantasy.
Samuel Beckett, 1956] The Kafka hero has a coherence of purpose. He's lost but
he's not spiritually precarious, he's not falling to bits. . . . You notice how Kafka's form is classic, it goes on like a steamroller -almost serene. It seems to be threatened the whole time -but the consternation is in the form.
I Joyce Carol Oatcs, 1983 I Though the words "Kafkan" and "Kafkaesque" invariably
point to paradox and human frustration, and suggest child?hood memories of terrifying disproportion, it is the case nonetheless that Franz Kafka's [works are] ... no more difficult than any riddle, or fairy tale, or Biblical parable. . . . His dark and prophetic art -Aesopian fables, religious allegories, inverted romances -limned a future in which bureaucratic hells and "final solutions" are not improbable: an increasingly dehumanized future of a sort Joseph K. has already endured when, after his struggle to acquit himself of guilt, he is executed and dies "like a dog." This is literature, admittedly, of symbolist extremes, in which the part must serve for the whole, the dreamor nightmare-image must suggest die totality of experience. In Kafka we never encounter persons, or personalities: we are always in the presence of souls -humanity peeled to its essence and denuded of the camouflage of external circumstances.
I Harold Bloom 1994 I From a purely literary perspective, this is the age of Kafka,
more even than the age of Freud. Freud, slyly following Shakespeare, gave us our map of the mind; Kafka intimated to us that we could not hope to use it to save ourselves, even from ourselves. . . . Knowing the deeper self rather than the fragmented psyche was Kafka's highly individual mode of negativity, appropriate to a writer whose mottoes included "Never again psychology!" and "Psychology is impatience."

Synopsis
The play is set in a converted farmhouse in the English countryside. Three figures are on stage from the start. Deeley and Kate, a married couple, talk about Anna, Kate's old roommate. Apparently the two women haven't seen each other for twenty years. Deeley and Kate don't acknowledge the third person's presence until Anna turns around, makes herself "visible" to them, and starts speaking.
Anna recalls the good old times she and Kate spent together as young women in London: working, going to concerts, lunching in the parks, frequenting cafes where artists and writers gathered. Kate and Deeley join in and memories flow as they have coffee and drinks. They take turns in singing favorite songs. Past and present overlap, mix and clash; temporal frames appear increas?ingly fluid. The comfortable familiarity of their relation?ships becomes fraught with tensions and ambiguities. Just before the act ends Kate retires to take a bath.
The second act opens with Deeley and Anna waiting for Kate to return. He describes the various arrange?ments of the beds. The conversation builds in intensity as Deeley insists on having met Anna in a pub twenty years earlier. She doesn't seem to share diis remem?brance. They change the focus on Kate; both comment on how long a time she likes to spend in the bath.
When Kate reappears from the bathroom, Deeley and Anna are absorbed by a singing "duel" as they quote phrases from a popular tune. Who may claim priority for Kate's affections The conflict reaches its highest dramatic point, but no answer emerges before the play comes to an uneasy and equivocal ending.
kjuppose someone were to ask:
"Is it really right for us to rely on the evidence of our memory (or our senses) as we do"
But when does one say of something that is certain
For there can be dispute whether something is certain; I mean, when is something objectively certain.

Writing for the Theater
by Harold Pinter
There are at least twenty-four possible aspects of any single statement, depending on where you're standing at the time or on what the weather's like. A categorical state?ment, I find, will never stay where it is and be finite. It will immediately be subject to modification by the other twenty-three possibilities of it. No statement I make, therefore, should be interpreted as final and definitive, ...
I suggest there can be no hard distinction: between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false. ...
Apart from any other consideration, we are faced with the immense difficulty, if not the impossibility, of verifying the past. I
don t mean merely years ago, but yester?day, this morning. What took place,
what was the nature of what took place, what happened ...
tVe will all interpret a common experience quite differently, though we prefer to subscribe to the view that there's a shared
common ground, a known ground.
I think there's a shared common ground all
right, but that it's more like a quicksand. ...
My characters tell me so much and no more, with reference to their experience, their aspirations, their motives, their history. Between my lack of biographical data about them and the ambiguity of what they say lies a territory which is not only worthy of explo?ration but which it is compulsory to explore.
We have heard many times that tired, grimy phrase: "Failure of communication'... and this phrase has been fixed to my work quite consistently. I believe the contrary. I think that we communicate only too well, in
our silence, in what is unsaid, and that what takes place is a continual evasion, desperate rear guard attempts to keep ourselves to ourselves. Communication is too alarming. To enter into someone else's life is too frightening. To disclose to others the poverty within us is too fearsome a possibility.
1962
(From Writing for the Theater, a speech given at the National Student Drama Festival, Bristol, England, 1962. Printed as "Introduction" to Complete Works: One. Grove Press, Inc., New York, 1976)
The Pain Worth Having
by Harold Pinter
I have a particular relationship with the words I put down on paper and the charac?ters which emerge from them which no one else can share with me. And perhaps that's why I remain bewildered by praise and really quite indifferent to insult. Praise and insult refer to someone called Pinter. I don't know the man they're talking about. I know the plays, but in a totally different way, in a quite private way. ...
If there is, as I believe, a necessary, an obligatory shape which a play demands of its writer, then I have never been able to achieve it myself. I have always finished the last draft of a play with a mixture of feelings: relief, disbelief, exhilaration, and a certainty that if I could only wring the play's neck once more it might yield once more to me, that I could get it better, that I could get the better of it, perhaps. But that's impossible. You create the word and in a certain way the word, in finding its own life, stares you out, is obdurate, and more often than not defeats you. You create the characters and they prove to be very tough. They observe you, their writer, warily. It may sound absurd, but I believe I am speaking the truth when I say that I have suffered two kinds of
pain through my characters. I have witnessed their pain when I am in the act of distorting them, of falsifying them, and I have witnessed their contempt. I have suffered pain when I have been unable to get to the quick of them, when they wilfully elude me, when they withdraw into the shadows. And there's a third and rarer pain. That is when the right word, or the right act jolts them or stills them into their proper life. When that happens the pain is worth having. . . .
I am aware, sometimes, of an insistence in my mind. Images, characters, insisting upon being written. You can pour a drink, make a telephone call or run round the park, and sometimes succeed in suffocating them. You know they're going to make your life hell. But at other times they're unavoid?able and you're compelled to try to do them some justice. And while it may be hell, it's certainly for me the best kind of hell to be in.
1970
(from the "Introduction" to Plays: Four. Faber and Faber, Ltd., London, 1993. Originally a speech made by Pinter in Hamburg, West Germany, on being awarded the 1970 German Shakespeare Prize.
Pinter not only writes dialogue that pre?sents both conscious and unconscious thoughts behind the words but he is also adept at keeping several flows of conscious?ness alive in a single conversation and mak?ing them apparent to the audience. ... Words can send different minds to different destinations in place and, very important, in time. Pinter is continually concerned with this, and much of the life of his dialogue derives from the subtle indications through trivial matters often of such divergencies. ... Pinter's originality is to be found in his style, and the aim of his style is to reveal the vary?ing consciousness of his characters; to understand all he writes and assess his achievement it is necessary to look through
the web of conversation and gesture to notice the other slowly moving patterns underneath. Even the interest of a play's action is dependent on the half-hidden nature of the characters' moment-by-moment involvement. ... In all the plays, any slight change of situation serves to effect a change in the audience's awareness, to make half-perceived revelations click into place. Pinter's dialogue is contrived, so that, when a radically new situation is at last pre?sented, the audience has already sensed the subtle and slow-developing movements which make it inevitable.
John Russell Brown 1965
Like Chekhov, ... the writing has the for?mal quality of music. ... Pinter drains every phrase of denotative association and uses it as pure thematic material, meaningless until he has given it meaning. ... [Each] state?ment is forcefully announced like the entry of a new subject in a sonata movement, sub?sequently undergoing development and combination with other themes. Each pause, each inflection is contained in the gesture of language, and the aesthetic effect is close to that of tautly controlled and con?tinuously evolving counterpoint.
Irving Wardle 1960
The Guthrie Theater
I he flagship theater of the I American regional theater movement, the founding of The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1963 spurred the development of not-for-profit theaters in many cities throughout the United States. Since its inception, the theater 5 ? has presented more than 7,000 performances of over 200 hundred productions to a collec?tive audience of more than 8.5 million patrons. The Guthrie's artistic mission is centered on the presentation of world literature of timeless themes. From its premiere produc?tion of a modern-dress Hamlet directed by the theater's founder Sir Tyrone Guthrie, its productions have garnered national and international attention for the quality of act?ing, innovative interpretations and superb production values.
For its home season, the Guthrie gener?ally performs in rotating repertory, with as many as four productions presented simulta?neously. The theater's acting company works together throughout the season, rather than the per-play contracts most typical for theaters today. The ensemble has been working together for many years.
The Guthrie has been lead by artistic director Garland Wright since 1987; on December 1, 1995, Joe Dowling became the Guthrie's seventh artistic director.
Joe Dowling (Artistic Director) is widely known for his association with the Abbey Theater, Ireland's National Theatre. While still a student at University College in Dublin he became a member of the Abbey's acting company where he played many lead?ing roles. In 1970 he founded The Young Abbey, Ireland's first theatre-in-education group. In 1973 he became artistic director of the Peacock Theatre, the Abbey's second stage, where he began his directing career. In 1976, he was appointed artistic director of the national touring company, the Irish Theatre Company. In 1978 at the age of twenty-nine, he became the youngest ever artistic director of the Abbey Theatre. His tenure is particularly remembered for the encouragement and development of new plays and young playwrights. After leaving the Abbey in 1985, Mr. Dowling became managing and artistic director of Dublin's oldest commercial theater, The Gaiety. While there he founded and directed The Gaiety School of Acting, now widely regarded as Ireland's premier drama school. Since 1990 he has directed extensively in North America including The Price, She Sloops to Conquer and Juno and the Paycock (which earned a Helen Hayes Award nomination) at Arena Stage, The School for Scandal, Julius Caesar and Macbeth at The Shakespeare Theatre, Othello with Raul Julia and Christopher Walken at the New York Shakespeare Festival, A Midsummer Night's Dream (presented in Ann Arbor in 1993) at The Acting Company, A Touch of the Poet at American Repertory Theatre, Philadelphia, Here I Come! at the Roundabout Theatre, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Uncle Vanya at the Stratford Festival in Ontario, The Plough and the Stars and The School for Scandal at The Banff Centre and Our Country's Good, and Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Toward the Somme at Centaur Theatre in Montreal.
Garland Wright (Director, Kand Old Times; Set Designer, Xand Old Times:, Lighting Designer, K) has long been respected as one of the leading directors of the American theater. His professional career began in 1970 at the American Shakespeare Theater. Since then, his productions have been seen in theaters across America. He has received numerous awards including two Obie Awards and numerous Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Citations. He began his long association with the Guthrie as a guest
director in 1980. Later, he served as associ?ate artistic director under Liviu Ciulei. In 1986, he was appointed Artistic Director and served until December 1995. He has direct?ed more than thirty productions for the Guthrie. He is co-chair of the newly-found?ed director's program of Thejuilliard School in New York.
These performances mark The Guihrie Theater's l
UMS debut.

Youth Program
Thousands of school children annually attend UMS concerts as part of the UMS Youth Program, which began in the 19891990 season with special one-hour performances for local fourth graders of Puccini's La Bohime by the New York City Opera National Company.
Now in its seventh year under the Education and Audience Development Department, the UMS Youth Program continues to expand, with performances by the Alvin Alley American Dance Theater for middle and high school students, two opera performances for fourth graders by the New York City Opera National Company, a performance by Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra Octet, in-school workshops with a variety of other artists, as well as discounted tickets to every concert in the UMS season.
As part of its Ann Arbor residency, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will present a special youth program to middle and high school students, and a family performance, both on March 19, 1996.
On Friday February 24, 1996, 2700 fourth-graders will isit the Power Center for abbreviated one-hour performances of Verdi's La Traviata. These performances allow children to experience
opera that is fully-staged and fully-costumed with the same orchestra and singers that appear in the full-length performances.
On January 31, 1996, Wynton Marsalis and die Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra Octet will perform a special youth performance at the Michigan Theater.
Discounted tickets are also available for UMS concerts as part of the Youth Program to encourage students to attend concerts with their teachers as a part of the regular curriculum. Parents and teachers are encouraged to organize student groups to attend any UMS events, and the UMS Youth Program Coordinator will work with you to personalize the students' concert experience, which often includes meeting die artists after the performance. Many teachers have used UMS performances to enhance their classroom curriculums.
